I want to love you
But I simply cannot
Love is unable to breathe
Inside of my dirty world
Perfumed roses bloom
But crumble at my touch
Another failed attempt
At showing me some beauty
I used to hold your hand
But my fingers no longer bend
Frozen in the solitude
That is my dirty world
My dress is tattered
My shoes are scuffed
Tripping over dreams
That came crashing down
My lips are forever dry
Hiding my exhausted tongue
Holding back the secrets
That built my dirty world
But I simply cannot
Love is unable to breathe
Inside of my dirty world
Perfumed roses bloom
But crumble at my touch
Another failed attempt
At showing me some beauty
I used to hold your hand
But my fingers no longer bend
Frozen in the solitude
That is my dirty world
My dress is tattered
My shoes are scuffed
Tripping over dreams
That came crashing down
My lips are forever dry
Hiding my exhausted tongue
Holding back the secrets
That built my dirty world
